Looking for real friends in Seattle (26, gay, film nerd)

Hey everyone,

I’m 26, autistic + gay, and I’ve been in Seattle for four years but still haven’t found a solid friend circle—like real friends, not just casual “see you once every three months” people.

About a year ago I went through a rough event that made me cut off any connections that drained me or flaked. Now I’m starting fresh.

Stuff I’m into:

• I’m a filmmaker (made two shorts, planning a third) and I organize 16mm at NWFF.
• Film nerd in general—love talking weird/arthouse stuff.
• I hit the gym a lot and I’m currently working on flexibility (splits are coming along!).
• I game, but I’m picky—Seattle Gaymers didn’t click for me.

I’m open to grabbing coffee, hanging at a museum, or even collaborating on something creative. I work overnight security, so my schedule’s a little offbeat, but I can make it work.

If any of this resonates, shoot me a DM—serious friendships only.
